Business Disaster Recovery

Like any other organisation, you take IT for granted - you expect your confidential records to be safe and secure, your accounts system to be fully operational and you expect documents and emails to be there when you need them - but what would happen if they weren't?

A total building failure - fire, flood or explosion - is rare but sadly, a server failure can be all too common an occurrence. Traditional backup relies on copying data files to some form of removable media such as tapes - this puts the onus on individuals to make the backups. Even with a proper back-up regime in place, recovering from server failure can take days - rebuilding a server, installing operating systems and applications, restoring files structures, communications links and data files - it all takes time, time most organisations cannot afford.

Qubic's BDR (Business Disaster Recovery) solution overcomes these problems. Individual on-site back-up units protect up to 15 servers and 4.5Tb of data and can be clustered for if required: the operating systems and network structure are backed-up as well as data. The fully encrypted back-up data can be replicated to another location within the organisation as well as to off-site, hosted vaults. In the event of a server failure, the back-up unit becomes a virtual server getting the organisation up and running within minutes. In the event of a building disaster, a fully restored replacement unit can be delivered to any UK location within hours to help get you fully operational as soon as it's on site.

Qubic's BDR solution is available for a small set up charge with a low monthly subscription.
